Airworks APU: Fusion
The Airworks Fusion is similar to a typical APU for a commercial truck in that we utilize a small diesel engine with its own cooling system, heating system, and generator system with an optional air conditioning compressor, housed in an enclosure and mounted to one of the frame rails of the truck. The Fusion integrates the auxiliary cooling, heating and electrical components throughout the chassis of the truck. The 4Kw generator also powers the main engine’s block and fuel system heaters, so the main engine can be started easily. The system is “vehicle based”, performing the same in any class 8, heavy duty, long haul tractor.
